Technical Evaluation Report on the Flight Mechanics Panel Symposium on Aircraft Ship Operations (Le Couple Aeronef-Navire dans les Operations)
Abstract
Worldwide interest in the use of shipborne aircraft as a major weapons system is very broad. Many NATO countries operate fixed wing aircraft from ships. Additionally, the use of ships as helicopter platforms is extensive in the NATO community and brings another import dimension to the aircraft/ship interface issue. Thus, it seemed that both fixed and rotary wing aviation deserved equal billing in the Aircraft/Ship Interface Symposium which is the subject of this Technical Evaluation Report. This Symposium was held in Seville, Spain, from 20th to 23rd May 1991 and was the first Symposium sponsored by the AGARD Flight Mechanics Panel devoted to this topic. The Symposium contained twenty-five presentations grouped under the following topics: Keynote Addresses; Ship Environment; Guidance, Controls, and Displays; Flight Test and Simulation Techniques; Launch, Recovery, and Handling Systems Development; and Operational Views and Future Developments. The full texts of the papers presented at this Symposium are published in AGARD-CP-509. Aircraft carriers, Shipboard landing, Carrier based aircraft, Flight tests, Helicopters, Computerized simulation, Antisubmarine warfare, Vertical takeoff aircraft, Ship motion, Search and rescue, Guidance and control, Amphibious operations.
